A monthly review in ten minutes
On the last day of the month, look back at the grid: which goals got done, and what got in the way? Carry at most three goals forward, add the fixed dates you already know (birthdays, deadlines, bills) to next month’s key dates, then print the new page. Landscape puts the goals in a side column; portrait puts them in three boxes below the grid.
Questions
How is a monthly planner different from a monthly calendar?
The calendar is all grid. The planner gives part of the page to a goals checklist, a key-dates list and notes, so you can plan the month rather than just log appointments.
Can I pre-fill my goals?
Yes. Type goals one per line and they print next to checkboxes. Leave the box empty to write them by hand.
Should I choose Letter or A4?
Pick the paper that is actually in your printer. US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) is standard in the US, Canada and parts of Latin America; A4 (210 × 297 mm) is standard almost everywhere else. The PDF page is built at the exact size you choose, so print it at 100% or "Actual size" rather than "Fit to page".
Why is there a margin around the page?
Most home inkjet and laser printers cannot print right to the edge of the sheet; they leave roughly 3–6 mm unprinted. A margin of 10–13 mm keeps every line on the paper. Drop it to 6 mm if your printer supports borderless printing.
Can I print it for a binder or a smaller planner?
Choose A5 or Half Letter for a pocket or discbound planner, or print Letter/A4 and use your printer's "2 pages per sheet" option. Leave a margin of at least 15 mm if you will hole-punch the pages.
